Creative urges, process, and sometimes, results

Join me in an exploration: the intersection of collage, digital photography, and printmaking. I combine images I’ve created, perhaps with scanned ephemera, into many-layered, textured compositions, to create a photomontage or digital collage. Feel free to browse my art, read my thoughts along the way, and join the conversation.

Summer Shows

I’ll be in two local shows this summer!

IDEA Odyssey summer showHistory X Contemporary Y

Curated by the IDEA Odyssey collective, whose slogan is “historic neighborhood, contemporary art”, the exhibit asks us “to explore how our histories shape our contemporary understanding of representation and identity.”

This statement resonates with me, particularly with my recent work, so I was delighted that Trousseau was chosen. The show, juried by Mark Takamichi Miller, runs from June 20 to July 31, 2013 at Tougo Coffee, 1410 18th Ave, Seattle.

 

Heron standingHeron Rookery 2013

Inspired by last year’s flock of creative responses to armature, Valaree Cox and Julie Rackley are curating another round of herons at artEAST Art Gallery. I was honored to be chosen based on my work to date by the juror, Meredith Langridge Anderson.

I’ve been given a 2′ square piece of hardboard with this basic outline (left, a heron standing) cut out. Stay tuned for progress reports as the work pulls together in time for the show in August.
